Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

This previous weekend, some of our Christmas Mini families came into the studio to view and select their favourite images. Turning them into Albums, Prints, Folio Boxes and so much more… To create timeless memories for years to come.

We all had so much fun creating everlasting memories of Christmas 2022. The children were so excited once they saw the warm lights, aspen Christmas trees and all the festive decorations!

Each family came in for their mini session, where we spent 10-15 minutes capturing all the joys and laughter. Ages ranged from 3 months old to 8 years old and of course some of the parents jumped ion for photos too. We had bubbles and Christmas music playing and at the end the kiddos received a special Dreamy Moon Photography gift bag. Their faces lit up when the saw the little pressie.

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

When choosing a photographer to photograph your newborn baby it is so important to choose someone who is correctly qualified for the job! The last thing you want is someone inexperienced handling and potentially harming your newborn baby! So in today’s blog post I’m am putting together a bunch of questions you can ask your potential future photographer to assure they are the best person for the job! And if in doubt, book in with Dreamy Moon Photography because we have you covered!

Question to ask…

What is your qualifications when it comes to photography. (Is this photographer self taught or do they have qualifications or mentoring, under their belt).
Do they hold a first aid certificate, (we love working with tiny hearts education!).
Do they hold a WWCC, ABN etc? (This will really help differentiate amateur to professionals).
Have you got a studio with flash lighting or do you work with natural light?
Are you a lifestyle newborn photographer or do you specialise in newborn posing portraiture?
Do you include a client wardrobe, props and accessories?

By asking these questions or researching your photographer thoroughly you will be able to distinguish between a qualified, trained photographer who is experienced in their field against someone who is just starting out with little experience.

Price is also a good indicator whether or not you’re working with a fully qualified newborn photographer. If they have years of experience, training, all the equipment, accessories, props and everything else that goes into running a business. Then it is expected that their price will reflect that. Rather then someone who is just starting out offering super cheap sessions!

Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers

It can be overwhelming for everyone when it comes to the day of family photos. Especially for toddlers and young children. But here at Dreamy Moon Photography, our aim is to create the smoothest experience for you and your family. So here are a few of our favourite tips and ticks to creating an easy photoshoot! Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers.

Tips

The best thing you can start with is gently preparing and building up excitement for your toddler. Explain to them that you’re going to get pictures taken. Let them play with a toy camera or a real old one if you have that on hand. Get them involved! This will help build up anticipation and excitement and give your toddler an element of control and security.
We suggest planing something fun to do after the shoot, for example getting an ice cream. This helps those young children who don’t really want to participate have something to look forward to, because let’s face it. Everybody loves ice cream (we recommend the cream at donut time in Burleigh)!
Now we definitely have a few studio tricks up our sleeve and that is setting up a fun bubbly atmosphere. Here at Dreamy Moon we love playing your Child’s favourite music. Getting the bubbles out and even our little squeaky to that seems to make all the kiddos laugh!
Finally our biggest tip is to stay calm and surrender to the outcome. Children are their own individual autonomous beings. Sometimes truely and autheicallyl capturing the moment makes for the best photos to cherish and look back on! We love a good candid picture over here, something that documents the phase of life that you’re in.

I hope that these tips help you not to stress too much about getting the perfect shot! We love making things easier on your end. And will do everything we can to support that.

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Arnhem & Theo’s Christmas Mini

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Arnhem & Theo’s Christmas Mini

The session

Arnhem and Theo love getting photos taken, well Theo more than Arnhem…. But you know how temperamental babies can be. One minute they are all for the photos and the next they need their mama and dada. But that is why investing into an experienced baby photographer is key.

I can guarantee that we can turn any sour situation into timeless captured moments of your little one!

The outfits

For Arnhem and Theo’s shoot they wore neutral complimentary outfits. Arnhem was dressed in a plain white, ribbed romper paired with a muted pink bow and an oatmeal bonnet which we switched up in the middle of the shoot.

As for Theodore, he wore light blue jeans and an oatmeal linen long sleeved shirt. Of course he wanted to throw a bit of personality into the shoot, as five year olds do. So we accessorised with his favourite green sunglasses.

The little moments

Theo is always so happy to get photos taken. He is always asking to be in front of the camera and poses so well. From contagious smiles to the cheekiest expressions.

Arnhem took a little while to warm up. She wasn’t happy at first but after a quick little milk break she was ready to jump in and pose for the photos.

Arnhem is just starting to sit so we popped her in the sleigh with Theo behind and then on her tummy for some floor shots.

The photoshoot was so fun and the memories are truly timeless and everlasting!

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

We are spoilt with choice on the Gold Coast, when it comes to family, baby and newborn photographers. There are so many different styles from lifestyle, to studio, fine art and so much more!

But it can definitely be a little overwhelming when choosing the photographer that will be best for you and your family!

So in today’s blog, I wanted to share with you some handy tips to choosing the best photographer for your needs. And the difference with booking into Dreamy Moon Photography in comparison to everyone else on the Gold Coast.

Photoshoot type?

Firstly it’s important to know what type of shoot you want. Whether that be newborn, cakesmash, family, wedding ect. The list goes on.

Once you have that down pat, you can have a little think about what style you gravitate towards. Do you love indoors, outdoors, light and airy, moody, creamy, high end.

This will give you a great visual representation on who you should gravitate towards. Style is the most important thing in my opinion!

Next you should discuss a budget. Is this a once in a lifetime photo shoot opportunity such as newborn photos (they’re only young for so long), where you should splurge a bit.

Do you want a full tailored experience…

Where all the planing and printing is organised for you. All you have to do is turn up and have fun! Or are you happy with a fast paced digital only shoot, where you do have to put more effort into it?

Once you have those things in mind you can go onto choosing your ideal photographer.

Dreamy Moon Photography is an experience that takes all the stress out of organising photos. We work alongside you for every little detail from the initial consultation, wardrobe and prop selections to hand selecting the best images that will suit your family’s needs and be presented on the walls of your home!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

New props

We can’t start the month of October off without getting a few little props! Or in our case accessories. We love supporting local vendors and small Australian businesses. Which is why we always try to shop as local as possible!

I feel like when you run a business that involves babies, it’s so easy to continuously upgrade the client closet because everything is so cute! Of course we want to also have new upgraded things for our clients to use too!

So let’s jump straight into the little haul!

We were really vibing the blossom and pear range at the moment. So we got on the band wagon and purchased the sweetest little over sized bow in the colour muted pink. This is such a versatile piece for newborns all the way to cakesmash babies. It has the perfect amount of stretch to accommodate for most baby sizes.

This little head band will be perfectly paired with a little white romper or dress. Or even a neutral coloured newborn wrap! We can not wait to use it in our next photography session.

All the accessories!

The second little accessories that we purchased was the sweetest little hand knitted bonnet. In the colour beige. This will be perfect for 6 month old sessions and sitter milestones. It will pair perfectly with any neutral outfit or even the cord knitted onesie that we have in our client closet.

We also went a little over board on Christmas mini decor but you’ll have to read our Christmas blog to find out all about the goodies!

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

I can not stress this enough! The photographer handling your precious, delicate newborn baby. Needs to be professionally trained and up to newborn photography safety standards!

Please don’t be persuaded by a cheap deal when it comes to this. We have seen time and time again babies being injured from incorrect handling by untrained photographers attempting these style shoots.

What you need to know

I wanted to get onto the blog today and put together a full list of the ultimate guide to selecting a newborn photographer. Especially in an unregulated industry. At Dreamy Moon Photography, we want you to have the best and safest outcome. Beautiful newborn pictures for you to treasure for years to come!

being the scenes newborn photography Robina qld

First things first

Okay first things first… Is the newborn photographer a legitimate photographer or are they just someone advertising cheap images on Facebook?

How do you find this out? Well do they hold an abn? Have they got credentials or have trained with experts in the field. Do they have a website, an Omnipresence. Have they got any awards or recognitions? All these things we’ll help you set a part an expert compared to an amateur.

Don’t let budget affect quality

And I know that sometimes budget can be an issue and can dictate the over decision but most experienced photographers do offer payment plans and if you book in early, you will have plenty of time to pay the shoot off.

Ps, we offer afterpay now!

Okay quality over quantity!! This is so important and can easily be missed. Wouldn’t you rather have 10 amazing images that you can print and creat the most sensational and timeless gallery wall to display in your home. Rather than 60-70 mediocre images that will just get lost on the internet?

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props, accessories and more!

Now the fun stuff!

Because this is the ultimate guide I do want to get into some of the fun things, now that we got the serious topics out of the way.

Choose a photographer based on the style you love. Are they a studio photographer? Do they shoot lifestyle? Are they rustic, minimal, boho, dark, light? Do they specialise in posing newborns such as froggy, bottoms up and taco. Or do they photography babies in a more relaxed presentation?

Does your photographer offer an exclusive experience such as dreamy moon photographer. Where everything is taken care of and all you have to do is sit, relax and snack.

We take pride in running a full exclusive experience for our clients, that is not only safe, reputable and experienced. But also tailored, easy going and unique!
